 Great Vacuum-One of my best purchases ever July 8, 2008
Anthony P. Pompa (Chicago'ish, IL)
After researching the hell out of a number of vacuums, I decided to go with the Dyson DC 17 Animal. I will admit, if I wouldn't have been able to get it on Amazon for $319 I probably wouldn't have purchased it at all. I received the vacuum within a few days of ordering it, even though shipping was estimated to be over a week. (positive)
The vacuum was packaged extremely well. Even though this vacuum was listed as "refurbished" I'd be willing to bet the vacuum couldn't have been used more than half a dozen times prior to being repaired. The appliances were brand new, not even a single scratch on them. Oh yeah, this thing comes with a bunch of tools, I'm pretty sure I won't even be able to use all of them anyway! (positive)
The directions were a little hard to figure out-I'm a man, I don't read directions, therefore I rely heavily on pictures! Maybe that's how they do things in Germany, but here in America it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to figure out how to put a vacuum together. I guess you have to be smarter than the piece of equipment you are trying to assemble. (negative-probably mostly my fault though)
Now about the vacuum's performance.....this vacuum is f'ing awesome! I wish I would have purchased one a long time ago. Prior to this I had a Dirt Devil and never really felt like the carpet was "clean." Different story with this thing! Here's an example for you...I'm a fireman, so I took this thing to the station. After spending numerouse hours vacuuming throughout the course of the day, and filling up the canister 5 times, one of the night shift guys came in and said he noticed somthing was different about the carpet. I hadn't even mentioned anything to him! That's pretty impressive for a guy to notice the carpet being clean! The only real complaint I have is that this thing does not have a light on the front, but then again, it's not like I'm vacuuming in the dark! (positive)
To sum it up, this vacuum is all it is hyped up to be!
 "Never loses suction?" HA! HA! HA! July 7, 2008

"Never loses suction" is an advertising gimmick. It lost suction within a short period, constantly declining now, too. Clean the little ($17.00) sponge "filter" and get a little improvement, but not much. It is practically impossible to clean out the tank, parts are locked down with star bits. Finally, cheap plastic parts break easily, so don't expect to be able to keep the cord in any neat condition.
 Dyson DC-17 Remanufactured July 4, 2008

We purchased this vacuum remanufactured from ABC Vacuum Warehouse - free shipping arrived quickly and as described.
We read consumer reports and rely on their ratings for many items.. and this vacuum does not top Consumer Reports list. However, the ratings on Amazon and Epinions seem to be overwhelmingly positive... so we bought one.
I can't compare it to the top rated machines on consumer reports ratings since we don't have them side by side.. however, we were very impressed with the results. We replaced a 4 year old Bissell that was rated as a best buy by consumer reports.. and when we first bought the Bissell we were very happy with it. There is NO comparison between the Dyson and the Bissell... We have a shedding black lab. After we were through vacuuming the carpets - it literally looked as though they had been steamcleaned - they even felt completely different under our bare feet. It's pricey... but the difference is remarkable.. If it holds up over time.. worth the price.
Everything everybody says July 3, 2008

The Dyson Animal is extremely powerful and gets up dirt left behind from our old vacuum. The beater bar has totally fluffed up and revived our carpet.
Excellent!!!! June 30, 2008

Very happy with the product. We have tried several vaccums and this is the best one, very easy to use.
